Examples of the lifts being performed to standard are available here. Please note, these are intended for the online competitions but still contain useful information about performing the lifts:

***Please take special note for Bench Press Rule Changes for 2023: The bar is lowered to a point on the chest or abdomen, to a position where the apex of the elbows is below the center point of the shoulder joints. Additionally, feet must remain in contact with the floor but it is no longer required that they are flat.

The USSF would like to thank our sponsors at Barbell Logic. We would like to thank our hosts at SuperNova Barbell.

We look forward to seeing you on the platform,
Jordan Stanton – President of the United States Strengthlifting Federation
